In the evening, the family came back one after another, and Meng Fanzhu also made dinner. Thanks to having a foodie father, the family has all the ingredients and seasonings. The staple food is rice, and I have consulted my father these days, and it is not hard or soft. The dishes are two vegetarians, one meat and one soup, and the first time I tried to make meat dishes, I chose to start with relatively simple shredded pork in Beijing sauce. The sweet noodle sauce at home is a sauce that my father specially asked someone to buy from BJ Quanjude, and it tastes authentic, so the shredded pork in Beijing sauce tastes good. Sanbao can already eat normal dog food, and the amount of food is much larger than that of ordinary puppies, and his father once lamented that the male creatures in his family are all big stomachs.

When my mother came back, her face was full of red light, and many colleagues on the TV station today asked my mother where she did her skin care and what cosmetics she bought. Even the hosts of other channels came to learn from the experience, so that my mother had a good time with the addiction of a beauty master, from work and rest habits, eating habits to maintenance methods, a flicker, I don't know if it is effective for these people to go back and do it.

Tomorrow Saturday, the whole family will be off, it is the first weekend after Meng Fanzhu's college entrance examination. The family is very excited, Lele said to go climbing, Dad said to play against the main (poker) at home, Meng Fanzhu has no idea, as long as he is with his family, he can do anything. In the end, my mother made a decision, and the whole family went to the Songhua River for a picnic. When I was a child, my parents often took me and Lele to the riverside, spread a blanket on the ground, sit or lie down, enjoy the river view, chat about homely things, and watch the children run around like crazy. Hungry, there are big lieba, old bread, red sausage, and small belly. When you are thirsty, the adults drink beer, and the children drink kvass and pour it exactly the same in the cup. I remember that at that time, there were tourists from other places who asked how to drink beer for their children? Could it be that Songjiang people have loved beer to the point that they are suitable for all ages!

Walking on the riverside, you can see a piece of square blanket everywhere, all of them are a family out for a picnic, the warp and latitude are distinct, and the wine around is also around when you are happy. If you know how to swim in the water, put on swimming trunks in advance, and go into the water as soon as you take off your outer pants on the shore. Some old people go to swim in the river every day, with dark skin and great figures, and the daily weather here is not only spring and summer, but also swimming in autumn and winter, and winter swimming has become a business card of Songjiang. These are combined into the unique scenery of Songjiang, and also represent the optimistic attitude of Songjiang people.

Picnic stuff was well prepared, blankets, cutlery, umbrellas, backpacks. As for eating and drinking, you can buy it on the same day, and go to Qiulin Department Store to get it all.

After dinner, Meng Fanzhu first called his grandparents and grandparents to make sure that the four old people would go together tomorrow. Back in the house, he plans to write Chapter 4 tonight, calculating that "Triple Gate" has a total of 7 chapters, more than 200,000 words, if he grasps it tightly, he can finish it next Monday, and mail it on Tuesday, and there should be a letter in about a month. If this goes well, you will be able to decide on the publication before the university starts, and if you are lucky, you can be serialized in the magazine "Sprout" first.

Nothing to say all night......

The next day, Meng Fanzhu and Lele finished their morning exercises, ran to buy big fruits (big fritters) and soy milk to come back to make breakfast, and Lele also bought two fried cakes and honey fruits for his mother. After breakfast, the whole family set off. drove two cars, my father took Meng Fanzhu, Lele and Sanbao to buy things, and my mother went to pick up the four old people.

On the way, my father sighed, "Our car is small, we should buy a business car, so that the whole family can sit in a car to talk and laugh, I can drive alone, and your mother doesn't have to work so hard." ”

Lele quipped, "Dad, slapping my mother's ass should be good in person, and if we convey it, it may backfire." After speaking, he still looked at Meng Fanzhu.

Of course, Meng Fanzhu couldn't let go of the opportunity to knock on his father's bamboo bar, "Well, it's not possible, it's definitely going to be reversed." ”

When Lele heard this, he immediately gave his brother a thumbs up. Dad smiled bitterly, "You two little traitors, aren't we in a gang?" Lele stretched out his right index finger and shook it back and forth, "No, No, my brother and I have always been on the same front with my mother, and we will be suppressed if we are with you." Meng Fanzhu smiled and watched his younger brother fight with his father, only a healthy and confident family would give birth to such a relaxed atmosphere.

Dad was immediately speechless, and finally compromised, "Stinky boy, say it, what conditions do you want to propose." ”

"Let's talk about it. After Lele finished speaking, he immediately leaned into Meng Fanzhu's ear and whispered, "Brother, what do you say we want our father to do?"

Meng Fanzhu looked at his younger brother with a smile, this little clever ghost, playing language hints with himself. His wording was to ask his dad to do something, not to ask him something. This is because I am afraid that my brother will not understand his original intention and ask my father to buy valuables.

"You decide, I'll listen to you. Meng Fanzhu empathetically handed over power to his younger brother.

"Hmm~" Lele also pretended to think about it, but he didn't know that his performance was very cute in the eyes of his father and brother. "The requirement is that when you meet, you have to take the rose and shout to your mother in front of the flood control memorial tower. ”

"Hiss~" Dad gasped, his hand trembled, and the body was slightly drawn. Said in a deep voice: "Let's change the conditions!"

"Don't change!" Lele insisted.

"Why don't we discuss the matter of electric balance bikes?" In order to escape this terrible request, the shy father began to use lure tactics against his younger son.

"No, my mother said, I'll buy it for me when I get into the top 20 in my final exam. Lele still insisted.

"Why don't we buy Jordan limited edition air cushion shoes, your Uncle Gao Hui is in the United States now, and he can bring them back next month." In order not to let his younger brother fall short, Meng Fanzhu patted Lele on the shoulder, and said softly and firmly, "I insist!"

"Giggles" seemed to hear the sound of his father's gritted teeth, silent for a long time, and finally his shoulders drooped and accepted his fate, who let him spread two such good sons!

After a while, I arrived at Qiulin, parked the car, let Sanbao wait in the car for a while, watched it lie quietly in the back seat, and quickly followed my father to buy food and drink, the whole family of 8 people, a big column is enough. As if God intended to fulfill my father, two teenage girls dressed in volunteer costumes, one holding a bouquet of roses and the other holding a paper cash box, came over. Meng Fanzhu ran over and spent 10 yuan to buy three roses, and noticed that the box was marked with a charity sale of roses for stray animals, and the payment was made by the Songjiang Youth Volunteer Association. I put another 20 yuan in the box. When he came back, he stuffed the flowers into his father's hands and explained, "You can use one flower, and the other two are for grandma and grandma." ”

"Ahh "Lele and I will send it, so I don't need grandpa and grandpa to go out. Meng Fanzhu held back a wicked smile and gave his father the final blow.

The closer to the river, the more nervous my father became, and his fingers kept tapping on the steering wheel.

When the father and son arrived at the Flood Control Memorial Tower with a large bag and a small bag, the old mother and the four old people had already arrived, and the grandfather was watching the calligraphy enthusiast with a sponge brush dipped in water to write on the ground. Grandpa gathered together with a group of elderly choirs accompanied by accordions to sing red songs, and some of the incomplete voices could not be found in the chorus of more than 100 people, and the old man sang very seriously.

Meng Fanzhu and his younger brother gave roses to their grandmother and grandmother, and each of them received a big hug. Lele said what his father promised, and got the unanimous support of his grandmother. Mom also agreed with a red face under Lele's persuasion, staring at Dad to confess. Dad was even more nervous, his face flushed, and finally he gritted his teeth, and even knelt on one knee, holding roses in both hands, and shouted to his mother, "Wife, I love you!" People turned their heads to watch, and then many cheered and applauded. Grandma and grandma held hands with each other and cheered, as if they had returned to their youth.

The mother took the rose with a red face, and Meng Fanzhu found that the mother's eyes were red, and there was a glitter in the corners of her eyes, which seemed to be moved by her father's bravery and sincerity. Lele, who was taking pictures with a camera on the side, also excitedly made a victory gesture to his brother, and then ran over and kissed his parents on the face. At this time, a young foreign couple came to ask for a group photo, and they envied the love of their parents.

Indeed, compared with those brilliant and short-lived loves like fireworks, Meng Fanzhu attaches more importance to realizing the promise of holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son.

Anya's beautiful face came to mind, and I couldn't help but think: I firmly believe that you will not just be a passerby in my life!
